The gunman who killed 10 Black people and injured three others in the May 14 racist mass shooting at the Jefferson Avenue Tops Market was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on Tuesday.

Payton Gendron, 19, entered the plea Monday in a courthouse roughly two miles from the grocery store where he used a semiautomatic rifle and body armor to carry out a racist assault that killed 10 and injured three. He answered “yes” and “guilty” as Judge Susan Eagan referred to each victim by name and asked whether he killed them because of their race. Relatives of those victims sat and watched, later telling reporters that the plea didn’t address the bigger problem, which they said is racism in America. -
Payton Gendron, the alleged gunman who has been charged with 25 state charges relating to the May 14 Tops Market massacre, is expected to plead guilty to all charges on Monday, according to attorneys that represent victims' families.
